isn't this topic about "sticking it to the man"? As someone else pointed out, most of the stories amount to spending an awful lot of time and effort simply getting what you're entitled to - to actually stick it to the man, shouldn't the "sticker" be the one that comes out on top through means fair or foul?

no
that's not what it means.

It means defying someone who is (or thinks they are) in a position of authority, and getting away with it.

You're just loading up with 10 quids worth of stuff, and paying 2p for it. That doesn't count at all.

And besides that, if the story isn't either amusing or has some charm to it, why bother?

Says he who has a response to just about everything he doesn't personally agree with. Often in a nasty tone.

Erm,
If you consider WH Smiths to be then 'man' then yes. But What did they do to you, apart from their perceived overcharging? You are not obliged to buy from them, plenty of alternatives. Sorry just a little bored of this QOTW bringing so many stories of plain theft justifying itself as a result 'for the man on the street'. Seems the man on the street is an embittered tosspot.
